I have this day (13th) written to the secretary of the Pastors’ Uston to say that the ‘leven pastors may sprak fr themseives as a minority of the pas‘ors of the city, but that they ought not to arregate to themselves the right t make sentimeat for their fifty fellow pastors. So far as I can gve aby light on the question, I feel that you de- serve the thanks of the community for haviug done so wel. _It,1s a curious elreumstanc that you earn the opprobrium of the liquor devers on the ope hand and the persecu ton of eleven men on the other hand.
